i agree with scooter there are very few that are not from california that have big time sponcers and are big name drivers there are 49 other states that have great talent in them (im not one of them LOL) i just feel that its kinda sad that most of the big time races are out in california if its a so called natinal circit then it should go through the entire U.S.A. this is why i like the rc pro seiries it gives everybody a chance to go to a big race and get their well deserved name out there and gives a club racer a chance to go to a big race to have fun and race with the big dogs all over the U.S.A. most all the states in the U.S. have at least one big track that is capable of holding a roar event. those west coast racers have a huge advantage cause they race those tracks on a weekly basis.
